The Gas Stove Prophets

by

The following is a guest article by Hans Fiene.The secular left keeps seeking the fulfillment of religious impulses with unsatisfying substitutes.A few days ago, I got up to grill myself a quesadilla in a world where gas stoves were apolitical appliances.

Should We Trust the UN’s “Climate Science”?

by

This is a guest article by Donna Laframboise.Last summer the National Association of Evangelicals, an organization largely in America but with some representation in my country, Canada, published a report that urges Christians to care deeply about climate change. Titled Loving the Least of These, it relies on the work of a United Nations (UN) entity to make its case.Having written two books about that entity—the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—I was sorry to … [Read more...]

The False Promise of Electric Cars

Feds Push Ignorance Defense for Whale Killing by Offshore Wind Development

by

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the NOAA Fisheries agency have both put out what amount to “arguments from ignorance” claiming that offshore wind development has nothing to do with the recent whale deaths. “We know nothing about it so it must not be happening” is a ridiculous defense to the charge of offshore wind development causing the death of a lot of whales. But this is exactly what the Feds are now saying.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashNOAA Fisheries is a scientific agency … [Read more...]

As Robert Bryce writes on Substack, “The Climate Imperative Foundation is the newest and richest anti-hydrocarbon, anti-natural gas group you’ve never heard of.” I recently discussed the issue related to gas stoves.

Why the Sudden Attack on Gas Stoves?

by

No doubt you have heard the discussion that gas stoves are evil … because they lead to childhood asthma. I am not talking about “gasoline” stoves—and I do not recommend you cook with gasoline—but gas stoves that run on natural gas. You might have one of these “anti-children” appliances in your kitchen. I recently moved from a home that had a gas stove to one where I now cook with electricity … not because I have children who are likely to develop asthma but because … well, the new house does not … [Read more...]
